Retailers Moving Into Machesney Park

Noodles & Co., Kay Jewelers, and Sleepy's are setting up shop near the corner of Rt. 173 and IL-251. Sleepy's, a furniture store, has already opened to the public. Noodles and Co. and Kay are expected to open in the fall.

"We've had a very conducive relationship with the Machesney Park area over the last few years" says Pankaj Mahajan, Director of Retail Development at First Rockford. "We're very excited about the new opportunities there."

All three stores have a location in Rockford as well.
